Rational Thoughts about Basketball

- the only surprising/bad loss was Vandy. Went in there overconfident at 8-0. It happens. Losing by 3 to UK or tough SEC road games is not unexpected with this roster.
- a 2-1 finish (with two winnable home games) puts us at 12-6 and a double bye. Everybody would take that deal at the beginning of the season.
-Yes, the D is HORRIBLE. We have one playable big who is a freshman and is lost on D. He isn't a rim protector. Wade had a solution to that problem until Alleva torpedoed last year's class. He's playing the cards he has. We lost Waters, Reid, and KBW in the rotation. We replaced them with Watford and Manning (who has been hurt). What do you expect?
Bottom line: we're about to make back to back tourney appearances and have a Top 10 class coming in. I know some of you just live to bitch, but I hope others can see all the good that's going on right now and support the program.

Appears to be a disconnect between the gameplan and the players.

Who was the solution?

I hope we do go 2-1. But I am concerned.
The trend has not been our friend.

not a fan of Alleva but it is time that reality sets in...
WADE was listened to on the tape, Alleva did not tape him.
WADE initiated the problem REGARDLESS of whether we agree with Alleva's actions or not.

The fact that we’re about to make back to back tournament appearances should excite and unite the fanbase for basketball. It’s unreal that people are seriously bitching about Will Wade and the state of this program

every member should be forced to have a read receipt before they can post again.
even then, most cant comprehend what you wrote. I thought it summarized the facts nicely

Quit being rational and making sense. Rantards won't compute this

Good analysis. Watford is not really a big.
We could have more cutting and movement on offense. We don’t move much off the ball.. in a way that gets people open for a shot

This cannot be overstated!

Just make the tourney and it will be a great season imo

Still no excuse for the worst and laziest defense I've seen in college basketball.
Defense is an attitude, a commitment. You don't have to be a great athlete to play good defense. Perhaps Wade needs to hire a defensive minded assistant.
The lethargic unmotivated mindset of the team on defense is a coaching issue, plain and simple. If your players refuse to play defense, make them sit on the bench for a while. There seems to be no consequences resulting from not playing defense.

They suck on defense. No shooters. No coach

It's been a good year. Not as good as last but our fans aren't the brightest.
The tourney will be fun.

Thanks for taking the time to say that, some of us novices just see win or lose and miss what is also going on
